Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy is incorporated by reference into the Beep Terms of Use. The terms “Beep”“we,” and “us” include Unmute, Inc. and our affiliates and subsidiaries. The Privacy Policy explains how Beep may collect, use, and disclose information we obtain through the “Service.” The Service is intended to facilitate the creation of publicly available information and content. Therefore, you should consider all of the information and content you submit through the Service to be publicly available.

“Personal Information” can be used to readily identify, contact, or locate you.

“Personal Information” means information that alone or when in combination with other information may be used to readily identify, contact, or locate you, such as: name, address, email address, or phone number. We do not consider Personal Information to include information that has been anonymized so that it does not allow a third party to easily identify a specific individual.

THE SERVICE COLLECTS YOUR INFORMATION
We collect Personal Information when you:

• register to use the Service;

• log in with social media credentials;

• use the Service; and

• communicate with us.

We also collect information, such as anonymous usage statistics, by using cookies, server logs, and other similar technology as you use the Service.

Registration and Account Information. You must register to use the Service. If you choose not to register using your social media credentials, you may be able to register directly with the Service. To register, you will need to provide Personal Information, such as your name, email address, and telephone number. You may also provide other optional information, such as a profile photograph, biographical information, city, state, and age.

Social Connect. When you choose to connect your social media account to your Service profile, we collect Personal Information from that social media website. For example, when you connect your Twitter account, we may collect the Personal Information you have made available in Twitter, such as your name, profile photograph, email address, telephone number, biographical information, location, and age. We may also obtain other non-public information from social media websites with your permission.

For example, when you interact with other users by recording and sending Beeps, posting comments, and uploading content, the Service will collect the information you provide in such submissions, including any Personal Information.

Referrals. A user may submit Personal Information, such as an email address, about others to us so that the user can recommend the Service or an item available on the Service to them. We use the information to send a communication to the individual and then delete the information. The recipient of an invitation to use the Service may see your name and email address as the referrer.

Cookies, Automatic Data Collection, and Related Technologies. The Service collects and stores information that is generated automatically as you use it, including your preferences and anonymous usage statistics. When we associate such information with Personal Information, we will treat the combination as Personal Information.

When you use the Service or receive emails from us, we and our third-party partners, such as advertising networks, social media widgets, and analytics providers, use “cookies” and other similar technologies to collect information about how the Service or email is accessed. Our partners also may collect information about your online activities over time and on other websites or apps. When they provide such services, they are governed by their own privacy policies. You may be able to change browser settings to block and delete cookies when you access the Service through a web browser. However, if you do that, the Service may not work properly.

By using the Service, you are authorizing us to gather, parse, and retain data related to the provision of the Service.
